Hello Welcome to FABlab Namibia

ABOUT US

The FABlab Design and Technology Centre is the first advanced manufacturing, prototyping and design lab in Namibia and the largest FABlab currently within Africa. The lab was established to provide access to new technology, machinery and design to enhance local product competitiveness. Thereby bridging the technological divide and providing competitive education, skills, new product creation and spurring innovation - ultimately to give rise to a technologically and creatively advanced local economy.

Literally mind blowing, I did not know Namibia is capable of such gadgets and machinery. Was definitely worth my time and learned a lot from them.

Angelo

My experience at FABlab was amazing. All the advanced technology just blew my mind away, I would go back again if given a chance. The content that was given to us opened up my mind to a lot of possibilities.

Hellena

The experience was awesome and very informative. At first I was sceptical but I truly left convinced - watch out world here comes Namibia.

Simon

I was in awe of the content. It was very exciting and I learned about a lot of things that I didm't know existed. Surely made me believe that nothing is impossible, all that one has to do is to put your mind to it and it can happen.

Keithley

Mind blowing experience, eye opening innovations and it has built up my confidence about having new ideas.

It is unthinkable for companies today to aim to be sustainable without being disruptively innovative. Fablab is an excellent home grown, but internationally connected group of people who has the ability to bring Disruptive innovation into the world of work.

The course is definitely prepared us for “the future”, not “the past” and has expanded our leather and fashion knowledge and consciousness, more importantly, we had so much fun.
